Blizzard Suspends Professional Hearthstone Player for Hong Kong Comments

What was the exact quote? The article doesn't mention it. I assume it was in support of the HK protestors.

"Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our age!"

What is happening there is literally what has led to revolutions in several western countries over the last couple centuries.

The Chinese are correct to be afraid, they have spent the last half century cleansing the concept of freedom from their society and they are terrified of what comes next.

People are going to start dying publicly in HK very soon, and the rest of the world will have to decide which side of history they want to stand on.

The American's needed allies to succeed in their revolution against a much more powerful nation, HK will need allies too.

Considering how Trump bowed down before Turkey about the christian Kurd fighters issue(basically abandoning people who were promised aid in exchange for dismantling their border security), I don't think he's going to care about Hong Kong too much

So then the real question is how do we use Trumps ego and addiction to social media to get him to start caring about HK.

His "trade war" already puts him in an adversarial stance towards from the perspective of his base.

I struggle to imagine a situation that would be improved by adding MORE involvement by Trump.

I can't stand the guy either, but his ability to mobilize his base can't be understated.

If it can someone be framed as a choice between the freedoms that Americans have died for and bending over to a totalitarian state I think it would be possible to sway conservatives into opposing these policies.

Do you want to help the people in Hong Kong or just start a war though?

Having China and the US grandstanding will make it a wedge issue and decrease the chances of compromise and a peaceful solution. At some point the parts need to sit down at the table and find a solution they can all present as a win.
